URGENT: Military Told Rohingya that Terrorists will Attack 26 March

We (members of the Rohingya Journalism project) have just had an online chat with a trusted Rohingya friend who we know personally and are in close contact with. He does not live in Burma but his family do, in the Arakan/Rakhine state. He has just received some very disturbing news.

I am pasting the chat here as it is very important. Please share widely and send to governments, media, gov orgs and none gov orgs. We cannot sit by and let this massacre happen without trying to stop it.

Rohingya hate speech by Monk Wirathu

Mon Wirathu, the regime's fall 'monk', needs hauling to The Hague to be tried for openly inciting crimes against humanity. Urgently.

Who can help?

Read/listen to his hate speech below:

"Moulmein will fall in to the hands of the Enemy (that is, Muslim), unless we can mobilize the (Buddhist) public's force/strength."

- Rev. Wirathu

Here is a must-watch Nazi speech (13 minutes) by Rev. Wirathu from Mandalay's new Ma-soe-yein Teaching Monastery, with a rough but accurate Burmese-to-English translation of the gist of his speech:

1) the Buddhist public needs to adopt a nationalist mindfulness - in virtually everything we do (that is, we must eat, sleep, see, hear, speak and breath '(Buddhist) nationalism').

2) but, to my dismay, i am finding out that our Buddhist public still lacks this nationalist mindfulness.

3) 'they' (the Muslims) do everything with this (muslim) nationalist mindfulness. On example, in the previous military era, they flocked to the generals and through their connections, they have captured the Construction boom/market in Yangon. They didn't love the military or the generals. They collaborated with the military for their national (Muslim) interests.

4) then the (the Muslims) approached and joined in large number the military's USDA/USDP party not because they understood democracy or human rights. Quite the contrary, they are the most blatant violators of religious freedoms and other human rights.

5) when they saw the NLD as the party up and coming, again they shifted their allegiance to the NLD. one joke is that the Kwet-daung (the NLD and Burmese political emblem of FIGHTING PEACOCK) is morphing into a "Mut-daung" (Mus-cock - meaning Muslims with mustaches). (laughters from the congregation).

6) do you know that when Aung San Suu Kyi returned from the USA, she only rode in the cars that belonged to or were provided by the Kalars (or niggers). So, when the Rakhine crisis broke out, her lips were sealed because they were about five or six benefactors around her who are 'niggers'. She could do nothing (for the Buddhist Rakhine).

7) Min Ko Naing? What could he do for the Rakhines?

8) I see Yangon or Rangoon is at the risk of falling to the Kalar's or Muslims' hand. Rangoonites, you must beware of this danger.

9) in Moulmein, a bus company named Raza-min is owned by a Muslim. I was told that the owner did not allow the holding of our annual Buddhist religious ceremony called Ka-htein (or Ka-hti-na). Why? Because the Muslim owner considered it just a waste.

10) our Burmese politicians are unable to stand with either the Buddhist public or protect our Buddhist faith.

11) I fear they (Muslim enemies) are increasingly taking over important positions in politics, society and so on.

12) I have learned, one NLD office was forbidden from holding the cooked rice offering ceremony in commemoration of the death of our national martyr - Bogyoke Aung San. Because the landlord of the NLD office is a Muslim!

13) again there is a bleak future for our country when important positions such as MPs or chairmans are occupied by 'them' (Muslims). they do everything from 'their' nationalist (Muslim) perspective.

14) That is why, we must all adopt this '969' (Buddhist) nationalist mindfulness. 9 stands for the 9 special attributes of Lord Buddha; 6 for the special attributes of his teaching/Dharma; and 9 for the 9 special attributes of the Sangha or Buddhist Order.

15) we must do business or otherwise interact with only our kind: same race and same faith.

16) your purchases/money you spent in 'their' (Muslim) shops will benefit the Enemy.

17) they take our women.

18) in Rakhine State, with their populaton explosion they are capturing it. And they will capture our country in the end.

19) so, do business with only shops with '969' signs on their facets.

20) (then this Fascist monk elaborated on the price war between the Muslim-owned Razamin busy company and other presumbly Buddhist owned bus companies) and scolded the Buddhist public who went for cheaper fares from the Muslim bus company).

21). if we lost this economic battle (against the Muslims) then they would use the capital or seed money provided to them by Saudi Arabia.

22) if we the Burmese (Buddhists) are concerned about lower costs only then the Enemy's power (and wealth) will only rise.

23) even if you have to spend a little extra for doing business with our own kind - Buddhist and Bama - consider that extra cost as your contribution to our race and faith.

24) once we won this battle we will move on to other Muslim targets and we must keep on moving our (Muslim) targets.

25) now Moulmein is about to fall into the Enemy's hand, or the hands of the Kalars (niggers), that is, of course, unless we fail to mobilize our Buddhist public's force.

Even More Disturbing Evidence of Imminent Massacre of Rohingya

 me: my concern is the weapons and the hatred
  if the authorities change their minds, the youths may begine anyway
6:47 AM what do you think?
6:48 AM Aung: Yes, if military want they can stop easily
 me: but the youths, do they have guns now?
 Aung: Yes, they have
6:49 AM me: so if they start fighting they can do a lot of harm, very quickly
  who gave the youths the guns?
 Aung: Rakhine authority, RNDP, ALD, ALP
6:50 AM me: not the military?
 Aung: No, not military
6:51 AM me: what about the NaSaka, did they give anyone guns?
 Aung: But in Maungdaw, Rakhine get training fr military
 me: who is giving the Rakhine authorities the guns, do you know?
6:52 AM Aung: In Maungdaw, NaSaKa is helping Rakhine, give them
training , weapons
  Rakhine have their own army
 me: how many are in the Rakhine army do you know?
6:53 AM Aung: Myanmar Government know it very well
  I don't know the exact number,

 me: so it is a well organised army, the Rakhine army?
6:56 AM is it an official organisation, or a secret organisation?
6:57 AM Aung: Before 2010, they were rebellion but now they entered
acco to agreement with government
6:58 AM me: do they wear uniforms?
 Aung: No,
 me: do you know who is in charge of the Rakhine army?
6:59 AM Aung: I need to check
 me: this is important
7:00 AM again we need names
  and connections - who is funding the army for example
  where the weapons are coming from
 Aung: I'll check and inform you soon
 me: links to senior members of parliament
  etc
  we need to know who is organising the genocide
  if we are to stop it
7:01 AM Aung: ok


Following this chat I made further enquireies about the Rakhine army. I found out that they are called the ALA (Arakan Liberation Army) a branch of the ALP (Arakan Liberation Party). I asked who was in charge of them and I was told it is Khaing Soe Naing Aung.

You can see video clips of the ALA in training from 1999 in the video alongside my interview here
:

They are in large numbers, highly organised, trained, and armed. Very worrying is that they are in civilian clothes and it would seem waiting to strike, to wipe out the Rohingya, as soon as word is given. My worry is that even if they are not given the signal to strike, they may do it anyway.
Thousands of youths, armed and trained, brainwashed by hate propaganda to 'wipe out the viruses' (the Rohingya) is a recipe for a blood bath disaster. And if/when that happens, the rest of the world might realise that those investments and oil contracts are the least of their worries - and the opening of that pipeline might become a distant dream!

Perhaps now governments around the world might insist on the defense of the Roghingya, in their national interest? Perhaps they might urgently send in independent observers, and insist on the confiscation of weapons from the Rakhine, with urgency, or else reimpose sanctions, with urgency?

It seems there are a lot of authorities 'watching the situation very carefully'. No doubt soon we will hear lots of messages of 'deep concern'. But watching and expressing concern will not stop the angry mob. Once this kicks off, it will be extremely difficult to stop, if at all.

If this matter is not acted on with the utmost urgency I see us heading for a human disaster that will have far reaching consequences, for the whole region, and likely have serious repercussions worldwide.

Praying that the world will take note. And act. Now.

One small group of honest dedicated independent journalists are about to leave to gather evidence and uncover truth about the Rohingya in Burma to help stop this massacre. But they need your support. Please find out more and consider making a donation to our Rohingya Journalism Fund here (every little helps). If we had some support we would take in hidden cameras and satellite equipment to feed back every bit of information as we get it.

More information from just this afternoon about the build up to the massacre have just been posted by @aungaungsittwe here.


Anyone that wants further information on any of the above may email me jamilahanan1@gmail.com

Message to Angelina Jolie about the Rohingya Massacre

If anyone knows Angelina Jolie please can you pass on this message urgently. I have posted a message to her fanbook page on FB but don't know how else to reach her and we have very little time.

Dear Angelina,

There is a massacre on the scale of Rwanda/Bosnia about to take place to the Rohingya in Burma. We have had reliable evidence this is due to take place sometime after 17th March, maybe last week in March and also second week in April. Please see here http://www.savetherohingya.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/disturbing-evidence-of-3rd-rohingya.html

I have done this vid blog here about it


but if it was you doing this vid, this campaign would fly and we might have half a chance at stopping this before it begins, and we might avoid thousands of innocent kids getting chopped up and thrown alive onto fires.

Please, this can't get a more serious cry for help I'm not talking about one or two lives here I'm talking about thousands, and I just need a bit of your time.

Please don't turn away please read this and contact me, we need you, they need you. Few others seem to give a damn.

Thankyou. Jamila Hanan

Good people should speak out to stop the Rohingya genocide

I was disappointed with a recent Human Rights report which you can read here, as I felt it was a lost opportunity at a key moment that could have helped stop the Rohingya genocide. It prompted this video blog.



In my video blog post above I talk about this film, Genocide: Worse than War, which is excellent and should be watched by anyone that wants to understand genocide and have a better idea about how we could stop it.


Human Rights Watch however have done many excellent reports that I recommend you should read, including

August 2012
Government Forces Targeting Rohingya
The Government Could Have Stopped This 

 
November 2012
Burma: Satellite Images Show Widespread Attacks on Rohingya 
A bridge too far for Obama, crossed too early, in Myanmar

Also of particular significance is this report from 2009, significant because it shows how the government have been persecuting the Rohingya for decades, just now they are 'reformed' so they disguise this persecution as ethnic tension. Please read:
Perilous Plight

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Since this blog post HRW completely redeemed themselves with this truly excellent report:
All You Can Do Is Pray
